May Reuse & Rethink Challenge: Trash Flowers
We all know how the saying goes… April showers bring May flowers! During wildflower season in Texas, barren road medians turn into lush fields of blues and reds. Highway shoulders that would normally go unnoticed become photo ops for friends, families, and pets trying to get that perfect shot surrounded by the fleeting blooms. This month, we challenge you to find beauty in the unconventional by using other materials to create unique, one-of-a-kind flowers! The bucket section of ACR is a treasure trove of items waiting to blossom into a beautiful bouquet of reuse! Artist and ACR Board Member Calder Kamin uses everyday trash to create worlds of flora and fauna that attract the eye and spark the imagination of the next generation. How can you rethink household trash to become a magnificent flower?
